Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts Opens

After 25 years in the works, the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts opened in Downtown Orlando today with a ribbon cutting ceremony.

A variety of open houses will be held in the coming days including a free concert on the Seneff Arts Plaza on Saturday night starring Sheryl Crow.

The largest venue, the Walt Disney Theater, will seat approximately 2,700 in Orchestra, Mezzanine, and Balcony levels. A one-time, star-studded performance entitled Broadway & Beyond will open the Theater on November 15th.

The Center also has a smaller 300 seat theater and other rentable event spaces.
